ITunes/iPod help...

Hello,
I recently downloaded a song from the iTunes Store and it only plays halfway through on both my iPod and my iTunes. I've googled til I'm blue and can't seem to find an answer. It stops in exactly the same place on both iTunes and my iPod.
iTunes version 10.5.2.11
iPod version 5.0.1 (9A405)
thanks for any help...I need help ASAP...I'm in Iraq and about to travel to a location with crappy internet service...
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for that link. However, I cannot (it' won't let me) report a problem with this purchase. I purchased it yesterday and when I clik the "report a problem" button, it only lets me choose the previous purchases. The song I have an issue with is in the latest purchases area.

Itunes/ipod help needed!!

Not sure what the problem is....my ipod has started shutting off by itself when i skip through my songs. I usually have it on shuffle when this happens. Doesnt happen on every song, it can be every 50...100....or 5 songs. It will shut off and then turn back on by itself. I at first thought it was something wrong with the ipod. I then got a brand new ipod and it still does this. Anyone know what the issue could be? Is it itunes maybe? THANKS!!!

Greetings!
I recently received an iPod nano, and was experiencing problems of the nature listed in this forum. Last night I stumbled across a solution, and in fact, downloaded 234 files to my iPod this morning!
I am using a Toshiba Satellite laptop that runs Windows XP Home.
Here is the solution as I discovered it;
Concerning Quicktime, I discovered that the laptop was trying to use two installed and runing copies. One for Quicktime, and one for Quicktime for Windows. One is the standalone type, the other is the one that comes with iTunes.
After downloading iTunes w/Quicktime, un-install Quicktime, and go back and get the stand alone copy, and install that. You should only have ONE iTunes and ONE Quicktime running.
I am not going to describe the second part of the solution, as it may be slightly different for each OS. Here is the link to the instructions for Windows;
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Follow the instructions to the letter. In my case, the laptop was already running as 'Normal Startup', so when I followed the instructions, everything worked perfectly, with one exception. While trying to figure out how the iPod/iTunes/Quicktime thing, I had the iPod plugged into the laptop. Don't plug the iPod into the computer until you have learned and are familiar with iTunes.
A note for those that aren't aware of it, when iPod is plugged into the computer, and the menu choice in iTunes, 'sync ipod' is clicked, iTunes will transfer whatever files are in the iTunes Library to the iPod automatically.I accidently transferred three REGULAR SIZE music files to the iPod, and they took up the entire memory of the iPod. mp3 or similiar is a must! Hope this helps!

Network & iTunes & iPod Help Please

Hi everyone, I have a 60 Gig video iPod, and my iTunes library is on my home computer. I have my iPod setup to manually update the songs. I like to plug my iPod into my work computer to charge it and also have iTunes play my music on my iPod. Now this works all fine with no problems until I log onto my work network. My network drives are mapped starting at Drive E, and when I am logged onto the network and then plug in my iPod, iTunes shows the iPod, but I can't access any of the music on it. Now, if I am not logged onto the network and plug in my iPod iTunes accesses my iPod just fine and I can use iTunes to play my iPod music.
Does anyone know of a setting I can change in iTunes so that I can play my iPod music when I am logged into the network??
Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.

OK, I just restarted my computer and hooked up my iPod before I logged onto the network. Itunes opened and showed my ipod and I can access the songs that are on my iPod and play them through iTunes. I opened up My Computer, and there isn't an extra drive. I double click the Network Drive and it is still labled as the network drive, and it opens and displays the folders that are on my ipod. Now when I log onto the network and then connect my iPod, iTunes opens up and shows the iPod with a "H:\" name, and i can't access anything on my iPod. I open up my computer, and it doesn't show another drive being connected to my computer. I check the hardware profile, and it has my iPod listed as being another drive connected to my computer and that it has no problems. I check the properties and it shows my iPod with the name and a drive letter of E:\.
This is what is causing my problem. I don't know how to fix it. Other than changing the network mapping drive - which really isn't an option because of all the ini files I would have to change for the network programs I run on my machine.

Organizing music for iTunes/ipod- help

Example, I have several Tom Petty songs. However, 3 songs are in one place, 1 song in another place, 7 songs in another place.
SO.. when I go to play all my Tom Petty, and I hit the Tom Petty song that is in a separate folder it will auto stop after that one song, even though there are 10 more Tom Petty songs.
How do I place all my singles by the same artist in the same folder so the music continually plays on my iPhone when I look up Tom Petty.

Make a smart playlist.
Artist contains Tom Petty.
Didn't you ask this same question in another post?

Using 2 seperate iPods with 1 iTunes? Help!

My brother and I both have different iPods and want to transfer different songs to each, since we both have different tastes in music. However, I can't figure out how to do this. Surely, there must be a way?
I've tried to 'playlist' options but it only works for playlists... not the entire selection for the iPod.
We only have one computer and therefore only one copy of iTunes.
Help with this would really be appreciated as we don't want to have to retick and untick everthing every time one of us wants to update our iPods.

"I've tried to 'playlist' options but it only works for playlists... not the entire selection for the iPod"
I'm not sure what you mean by this but the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to create a one or more playlists specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into them. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 1800MB for a 2G). You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or of course you could set one or both iPods to "manually manage songs and playlists" and drag whatever you like to them.

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

Help with my itunes/ipod

Please can someone help......I am a complete novice with itunes and ipod and i seem to be having some difficulty....I have managed to download all my music into itunes and have also managed to sync the music to my ipod however everytime I try and add new songs it 'syncs' the complete library again and as I have so many songs it takes a very long time to sync (about 35 mins). I have tried setting up a playlist and just ssyncing the playlist however then all the other music disaapears from my ipod and only the few songs in the playlist remain. Does itunes have to sync everything everytime I plug my ipod in? Is there anyway that I can keep all my music on my ipod and just add new songs and not have to sync the whole library time after time? I would really appreciate some help. I have tried the online tutorials but they are not answering my question
Many thanks
Amanda

Depending on the size of your library, memory, processor speed etc, iTunes can spend a long time deciding which tracks might need to be updated on the iPod but unless something has gone wrong it should then only copy new or updated tracks and delete those you have removed from your library. My almost full 160gb iPod has just taken about 20 mins to sync, with only the last minute or so being used to transfer ~100 updated files.
If all your files are being copied each time you sync then I suspect the iPod library is getting corrupted. One possible cause for this is an irritating feature called write-behind caching. It could be that when you eject the iPod, iTunes decides it's finished and asks for the device to be disconnected when Windows still has data to write to the disk.
*Disable write-behind caching*
Right-click on your iPod in *My Computer* and select Properties and then the tab that says Hardware. Highlight the selection that says *Apple iPod USB Device* and select Properties. Under the tab that says Policies make sure that *Optimize for quick removal* is checked.
While I would generally recommend auto-sycning if it is not working well for you then you might try switching to the manually manage option in which case you get to control manually which tracks are added to or removed from the iPod. This can be a much faster way to add a few tracks but makes it much harder to keep information in the iTunes & iPod libraries in step.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
